With Phil Hartman as Troy McClure. Guest star Jeff Goldblum as McArthur Parker.
I absolutely love this episode!! This is one of the rare episodes that barely has the Simpsons in it at all and focuses on less common side characters.
Troy McClure is out of work and needs glasses to drive his car. When at the DMV he convinces Marge's sister Selma to let him pass the eye exam for a date. Troy soon finds that dating a woman (he previously had a fish fetish) puts him back in the spotlight. It soon becomes a fake Hollywood marriage, and to lay it on real thick, they need a baby.
This episode was good in so many ways. The animation on it was so good. For some reason it just looked perfect. This is the only time we really got to see into Troy McClure's character, and Phil Hartman gave an excellent performance. With an uplifting, but kind of sad ending, this episode was all it could be and more.
My rating: ****/****. 22 mins. TV PG D
